FAQs

Seismic retrofitting involves strengthening existing buildings to make them more resistant to seismic activity, such as earthquakes. This process helps to ensure the safety and structural integrity of your building.

Quake Strong manages the entire retrofitting process from start to finish. This includes initial building assessments, engineering plan coordination, tenant management, construction, and cost recovery. We provide regular updates to keep you informed throughout the process.

Our Apartment Management Division handles all tenant communications, including construction notifications and parking instructions. We also manage the Tenant Habitability Plan (THP) to ensure compliance with city requirements and address any tenant concerns.

Quake Strong handles all necessary building inspections throughout the retrofitting process. We work closely with city inspectors to ensure that your building meets all required seismic safety standards.

The duration of the retrofitting process varies depending on the size and complexity of the building. We provide a detailed timeline during the initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the project.

Seismic retrofitting is crucial for enhancing the safety of your building and its occupants. It reduces the risk of significant damage during an earthquake and ensures compliance with local seismic safety regulations.

If you already have engineering plans, we can work with them. If not, we can introduce you to a variety of licensed engineers who can design the necessary retrofitting plans. Quake Strong does not employ engineers but collaborates with trusted professionals to ensure high-quality plans.

Once engineering plans are approved by the city, we order the necessary materials and begin construction. Our experienced construction team ensures that the work is carried out efficiently and to the highest standards.

The Cost Recovery Program allows building owners to recoup some of the costs associated with seismic retrofitting. We assist you in navigating this program to help you recover your investment in making your building safer.

Getting started is easy! Contact us today for a free building assessment. Our team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring your building is safer and compliant with seismic regulations.
